Sundial Bridge

Soaring over the winding Sacramento River is one of California’s most unique and extraordinary architectural icons, the Sundial Bridge, located in beautiful Redding. The city commissioned world-famous Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava (architect for the Athens Olympic Stadium), to design a pedestrian bridge in order to link Turtle Bay Exploration Park to its McConnell Arboretum and Botanical Gardens as well as the extensive Sacramento River National Recreation Trail. The Bridge transcends its intended function and has become Redding’s most popular tourist attraction. Visitors get the chance to walk across 710 feet of translucent glass and are suspended over the river with no supportive footings to be seen. The 21 story, towering arc turns the bridge into a working sundial making it one of the largest in the world.
